Dir_ws_http Issue With Links

[mtnhost]

when i click on link on left column for categories this is what i get

 

http://www.websiteaddress.comdir_ws_http_catalogindex.php/?cPath=55&osCsid=d47eea936ca0d63389e65852de14aa1b

 

with an error that reads

server not found www.websiteaddress.comdir_ws_http_catalogindex.php.

 

but if i type in

http://www.websiteadress.com/oscommerce/catalog/?cPath=55&osCsid=d47eea936ca0d63389e65852de14aa1b

(replaced dir_ws_http_ with /oscommerce/catalog/ and deleted index.php/)

it links to the correct page.

 

which file is pointing to the wrong path? or are there multiple files? i checked config.php file and can not find the error. thanks for your help!

includes/configure.php - I'll bet that the domain information did not get written to that file and that it says 'http://localhost' when it should say 'http://www.yourdomain.com'

Thank you for this suggestion. I have checked both configure.php files- one in admin/includes and the one in includes folder. They both point to www.mywebsiteaddress.com. The folder that my oscommerce info is in on the server is www.mywebsiteaddress.com/oscommerce. I even changed both configure files to point to this thinking that would fix it. It did not??? I think it is probably just one file pointing to the wrong thing. I just can't find that one file. I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Sorry to bring up an old issue. But this guys question looks like it was never solved... and I am having the exact same issue. Any ideas? Thanks for your help

If you're getting DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG in your URL's then that define is missing or not setup properly in your catalog configure file.

 

If you installed osC into the normal /catalog folder, it would look like this:

 

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

If you installed in the root, it would be:

 

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

And by "my configuration file" you mean /catalog/includes/configure.php right?

 

If that's the case, I open that file in my text editor and I see no reference to define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG.....)

 

Here's my configure.php file:

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://74.20.215.52');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://74.20.215.52');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://74.20.215.52');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home1/airlessu/public_html/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/~airlessu/catalog/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home1/airlessu/public_html/catalog/admin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/~airlessu/catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home1/airlessu/public_html/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'notmyrealusername');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'notmyrealpassword');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

?>

 

I don't see it in here, do I have the right file? Thanks for your help!

Add this in the file you posted:

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/~airlessu/catalog/');

Jim, thank you so much. I have googled my problem over and over and searched countless forums. Your solution solved it. I wonder how that line went missing in the first place? Anyway thank you so much my friend!
